Chapter 214 That day won't be too long

Professor Zhong looked at Su Qian sadly, "Such calligraphy and painting have been passed down for thousands of years, and they are already very fragile."

"How can you just touch without gloves?"

"We must know that our hands have oil and sweat, which will affect the paper."

"It's not like porcelain. Porcelain is touched too much, and at most it's patina."

Professor Zhong walked back, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a pair of gloves."

After a while, Professor Zhong came out with a pair of brand new white gloves. Susie put on the gloves and slowly rolled up the calligraphy and painting.

Professor Zhong asked next to him: "Apart from this calligraphy and painting, have you received any good things recently?"

Susie thought for a while, "I bought a revolving bottle at the Overseas Chinese Store in Beijing."

Professor Zhong's eyes lit up, "Where's the revolving bottle? Why didn't you bring it over?"

Su Qian said helplessly: "Professor Zhong, that bottle is too big to hold."

Professor Zhong's face was full of regret, he had an urge to follow Su Qian back, not for anything else, just to see that the turning bottle was worth it.

It's just that, every time he pays his retirement salary, he first buys enough meal tickets for a month, and the rest of the money is spent on antiques.

Now he has nothing in his pocket, not even travel money.

Professor Zhong looked at the alarm clock on the table, "It's time for lunch, let's go, I'll take you to the cafeteria for dinner."

Susie hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Professor Zhong took out two lunch boxes, handed one to Susie, locked the door, and led Susie to the cafeteria.

There were not many people in the teacher's cafeteria. Professor Zhong bought the meal with the meal ticket, and sat in the cafeteria with Susie to eat.

After a while, an old man also had a meal and sat down.

He looked at Susie carefully, "Old Zhong, where did you find this beautiful girl?"

Professor Zhong smiled triumphantly, "My niece."

The old man "cut" and said, "I don't know you yet. You don't have any brothers or sisters. Where can you have a niece!"

Professor Zhong looked at Su Qian, "If you don't believe me, ask her!"

Susie must have given Professor Zhong face, so she smiled at the old man and nodded.

Professor Zhong was very proud. The old man looked at Su Qian enviously, sighed, and bowed his head to eat.

After eating, Susie washed the two lunch boxes and went back to the dormitory with Professor Zhong.

Professor Zhong laughed a few times, and said embarrassedly: "The old man's surname is Yuan just now, his wife passed away very early, and he has no children."

"As for me, I have been a bachelor all my life."

"The two of us often laugh at me and at you. He said I was the lone star of the devil, and I said he was lonely."

"Hahaha, today I said you are my niece, but he was so envious."

Professor Zhong smiled happily, but Susie could hear a bit of loneliness from these words.

When a person is young, he may not feel that he is single, but when he is old, he should still hope that his children will be around his knees.

Back in the dormitory, Susie talked with Professor Zhong for a while, seeing that it was almost time for the train to leave, she left and went to the train station.

On the way back, Susie was very careful, lest others damage the paintings in her bag.

When they arrived at the county seat, Su Qian didn't forget to go to the photo studio to get a photo of her and Uncle Liao.

Taking out the extra photos, Susie wrote her name neatly on the bag, and then sent the photos to the reception room of the food factory.

The uncle in the reception room said enthusiastically: "Why don't you go to your uncle's house today?"

Susie smiled at the uncle, "Master, I have to catch a bus, and the last bus will leave later."

"I will trouble you to hand this over to my uncle for me."

The uncle nodded, "Don't worry, I'll give it to him when I get off work."

Susie thanked the uncle, hurried to the station, finally caught the last bus, and returned to the croissant production team.

It was getting dark at this time, and as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Qiao Mu coming up.

Qiao Mu reached out to take her bag, and Susie glanced at him, feeling that his face was frozen blue.

She said angrily, "How long have you been waiting here?"

Qiao Mu grabbed her hand and stuffed it into his pocket, "It didn't take long, and I just came out."

Back at the collective household, the meals were all ready and hot on the stove. Everyone didn't eat, and they were waiting for Susie.

A brazier was lit in the stove room, and Susie sat beside the brazier and roasted for a while. After her whole body warmed up, she grabbed her chopsticks to eat.

After dinner, Susie boiled water and washed the dishes, and Qiao Mu was there to help.

Only after there was no one in the stove room did Qiao Mu ask, "Where did you go today?"

Su Qian said, "I went to the Provincial University."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Mu stopped holding the bowl, and Ruan Zhonghua seemed to be at the provincial capital university.

Su Qian didn't pay attention, and continued: "I bought a pair of calligraphy and painting, I don't know what year it is, I'll show it to an old professor from the History Department of the Provincial University."

Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief and said "Mmm".

Susie glanced at him, "You went out this morning, and I was going to tell you."

Qiao Mu stared at her, "You'd better call me with you wherever you go, it's not safe for you to go out alone."

It was only then that Susie remembered that she hadn't told Qiao Mu about her going to Hong Kong City.

She whispered the matter, and Qiao Mu was silent for a while, "How long will it be?"

Susie shook her head, "I don't know, I always come back after finishing the matter."

"By the way, didn't you say that your uncle and grandfather are in Hong Kong—"

Qiao Mu said in a low voice, "Since my mother disappeared, I haven't had any contact with her."

"I don't know their addresses either."

Susie felt that Qiao Mu was depressed, so she quickly changed the subject, "By the way, what kind of work do you want to do in the future?"

Qiao Mu looked at Susie a little strangely, "It's not up to me what job I can do."

"I mean, if one day the country resumes the college entrance examination, what major do you want to study?" Susie changed the way of asking.

Qiao Mu picked up Susie's washed dishes and put them in the cupboard, "I haven't thought about this issue."

After he finished speaking, his heart moved.

Su Xi seldom talked nonsense, she suddenly asked, could it be that she got some news that the country will resume the college entrance examination?
After all, Susie's father is in the capital and still has a position, so he is better informed than ordinary people.

Qiao Mu lowered his voice: "Did Uncle Xu tell you something? The college entrance examination is going to resume?"

Susie shook her head, "No."

"However, I always feel that there will be a day, and it will not be too long."

"By the way, do you still remember some knowledge from high school?"

Qiao Mu shook his head, "I've only been in high school for one year, and the school is engaged in labor every day, so I'm too lazy to go to school."

Susie was startled, "Then you still read calculus? Can you understand it?"

She has never studied calculus, and she always feels that the university should only learn after finishing high school knowledge and laying a solid foundation.

Qiao Mu said: "I finished high school mathematics by myself, and then my uncle asked an old professor at the university to get me a book on calculus, and I'm almost finished reading it now."

Su Qian said: "I have a full set of high school textbooks. If you have time, you can read all of them."

I don't know what subjects to test now, but Susie guesses that science subjects are probably these.

"By the way, there is also politics." It is estimated that politics, arts and sciences must be taken.
